A great crime thriller with equally great tense moments. And two of my favorite actors! It plays out a lot like a Law and Order: SVU episode. So if you're into that, you'll like this movie. And it's based on a true story. Nic Cage doesn't overact this one, which is both surprising and pleasant. It's easy for movies like this to reveal everything too soon and stumble over itself with exposition. But this one let's things flow and unfolds itself nicely, which leads up to a nice and satisfying ending.

Cage guarantees always the same way of lethargic acting. Whether he is an alcoholic in "Leaving Las Vegas" or a chemical weapons specialist in "The Rock", his acting routine is basically the same. Personally I think he deviates in this routine in "Matchstick Men" in which he performs in an …

Considering how bad a rap Nicolas Cage has got recently in terms of his choice of movies, my expectations weren't particularly high for this serial killer thriller. And although no one is likely to win any acting awards for this one, I have to say that on the whole Frozen Ground keeps the tension ramped up and in the end is a decent film, especially for those who like true crime dramas.

Based on the real-life murders of Robert Hansen (played by John Cusack) - set in Alaska - a man who prowled the seedier side and murdered many young women - many of them prostitutes. Although questioned early on - he was released due to lack of evidence but Office Jack Halcombe (Cage) catches a break when a Cindy (Vanessa Hudgens - trying hard to shake her Disney image once and for all) escapes and …
